Bungee jumping Paris France

Some of us can't wait for virtual reality to make it to TV. Or can we?

We'd get the full experience of The Amazing Race ... the sights, the sounds, the, uh, smells.

That came to mind as the teams left Africa and arrived in France. In Paris, in what looked to be summer, the teams had to constantly run to their destinations, so you knew they were ripe. Tourists were in shorts, sweating, and everyone, even the prancing Phantom Blanc guy who handed out clues, looked as if they smelled like recess.

FAQ

Did bungee jumping originate in the South Pacific islands?

On Pentecost Island in Vanuatu, named after the Christian Pentecost theory, there is an annual festival including a ceremony in which young people throw themselves off a high tower, relying only on a tree vine wound around their feet. Until a decade or so ago, this land diving was part of an initiation ceremony, with young people who were unable to complete the ceremony never able to make the step into official adulthood. The divers were ordinary young people, and there were apparently many cases of deaths and severe injury. These days, it is only a festival ceremony, seen by a New…
